Holy Tuesday is celebrated today, April 23, at Orthodox Cathedrals around the world.
The Divine Liturgy recounts two parables, both related to the Second Coming.
The first is the parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew chapter 25:verse 1-3); whereas the second is of the Talents (Matthew chapter 25: verse 14-30). These parables point to the inevitability of the Second Coming and deal with such subjects as spiritual vigilance, stewardship, accountability and judgment.
